Amy-kate's Description

Hello, I have over 10 years of Babysitting and Nannying experience.

I am currently working 2 days a week as a nanny for a family of 4 (2 year old and a 6 year old). My current duties are taking the 6 year old to school and then looking after the 2 year old all day as well as preparing meals for the family when needed and some light cleaning.

My approach to childcare is to encourage independence and problem solving in the young children i care for. I limit TV and screen time as much as possible for children not yet in school, and encourage creative activities where ever possible.

A standard day in my care would see your child being prepared healthy snacks and meals, often going on an outing to the library, park or museum. I like to keep to a routine as much as possible, because I find that the children I care for come out of their shells a lot sooner when they know the rhythm of their day.

I'm hoping to find some additional casual hours to add to the 2 days I am already working for my 'second family'.

I have experience with newborns, all the way up to 13 year olds. I am comfortable with all these ages and often nanny for multiple children at once. My favourite ages are 6 – 18 month olds, but I can always find something fun to do with any age.

In my spare time I like rock climbing, graphic design, watching movies and reading.
